patient lifts are commonly used in healthcare facilities to assist caregivers with transfers and repositioning.

• Important features for all lifts include:
  • Proper patient sizing and weight rating – for safety and efficency.
  • Padded, comfortable slings, cushions for support.
  • Easily maneuverable – lockable wheels, steering, compact base.
  • Emergency stop and lowering buttons/controls for quick response.
  • Power backup in case of outage for ceiling and overhead track lifts.
  • Charging stations and batteries for portable units.
  • Regular servicing and maintenance to ensure safe working standards.

• Patient lifts reduce risks of musculoskeletal injury to caregivers, improve mobility for patients and help maintain dignity during routine handling and transfers.
